Colts odds: Atlanta once again the underdogs in Week 3 matchup in Indianapolis Fact: Grady Jarrett’s mustache regularly trims itself By James Rael @falcoholicjames Sep 18, 2019, 11. Free agency and the 2021 NFL draft are still yet to take place and could help shift the tide for the Colts in some manner of speaking. As it stands, BetMGM has the Colts holding 25/1 odds to win Super Bowl LVI, which is tied for 10th-highest with four other teams.

The Atlanta Falcons (1-1) and Indianapolis Colts (1-1) hook up at Indy’s Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 3. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
